Windswept deformities - An indication to individualise valgus correction angle during total knee arthroplasty.
Journal of Orthopaedics 2017 March
PURPOSE: We aimed to determine variation in femoral valgus correction angle (VCA) between the two limbs in a patient with windswept deformity undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
METHODS: Femoral VCA was measured on full-length, hip-to-ankle, standing radiographs and was compared between the varus and the valgus limbs in 66 patients with windswept deformities.
RESULTS: The mean VCA in varus knees was significantly higher compared to mean VCA in valgus knees ( p = 0.002).
CONCLUSION: Significant difference in VCA is present between the varus and the valgus limbs in most patients with windswept deformity undergoing TKA.
